Abstract

This paper presents a study of the ferroresonance phenomena occurring on 33 kV PEA (Provincial Electricity Authority) distribution network in Satun province. The installations of 1000 kVA and 500 kVA delta-wye transformers, 300 meters underground cable and capacitor in the low side of the transformers cause the overvoltage while then are single-phase or two phase switching events. The result of overvoltage damages surge arresters that are installed at the both transformers and the connection point between partial insulated conductor (PIC) and underground cable in several times. The analysis is made by ATP-EMTP simulation compare with experimental events. The purposed solutions of this problem are determined on the simulation and field test result.
